Comment (by markjaquith):

 Sounds like a good job for a plugin.  We erred on the side of giving users
 more freedom in their taxonomies.   The only thing that is really
 separated between categories and link categories is their hierarchy, as
 designated by the "parent" column in the term_taxonomy table.  You could
 write a plugin that designates one taxonomy as the authoritative one for
 hierarchy and have the other taxonomy mimic it.

 I'll leave this open for discussion, but the merging of categories and
 link categories was fairly unpopular, so I don't predict that many people
 are going to be in favor of having that in core.
